After their set at the 2015 Pitchfork Music Festival, CHIRP's Katie Owens caught up with Nashville's Bully. Katie talked to all of the members in the band about the feminist themes in their music, shouting out Logan Square in one of their songs, and what goes through their heads when cameras are recording their live shows.
In addition to Pitchfork Fest, Bully plays Lollapalooza 2015 as well.
